Abstract
In Canada, as in many other parts of the world, employing postdoctoral scholars in faculties of education is a relatively new phenomenon. In this paper, we discuss findings from narrative research involving eight postdoctoral scholars from a faculty of education at a Canadian university. Through written vignettes, these individuals reflected on the challenges and supports they faced during their postdoctoral positions. While clarification of roles and adaptation of practices are needed to enhance the experiences of postdoctoral scholars, the liminality of the postdoctoral space offers possibilities for professional growth and scholarship.
